The greatly anticipated release of “No Angels Here- my time in captivity.”

–the striking debut memoir from award-winning author T.L.Bragg–

coming soon

“I was raped, beaten, idolized, demonized, and thrown out of a moving car. I touched a dead body, wrote a song with a murderer, and ran down the middle of the street butt-naked screaming, “I’m not crazy”—all before my 19th birthday.

I place the blame squarely on a Fourth Grade English teacher who said that not every life is worth recording, that most of it is mundane bullshit and you’d better have a pretty interesting life to be page-worthy.

I hadn’t thought of him…well, ever, since then, but as I licked at the rough salty blood dried to my bottom lip, pregnant, and locked in a closet…I had to confess, that I always have been a bit of an over-achiever.”

The memoir, No Angels Here is the eyes wide shut true story of a teenage girl running full speed into a locked closet. 18-year-old Tawnya, intrigued by danger and drunk with self-importance, went from being an office employee to being held captive by a murderer without a single person ever realizing she was gone.

This story takes us on the journey to reconcile the devil and divinity that coexists within each of us. Embracing the darkest parts of herself she was able to illuminate a way out of the closet and into the bright light of the life she was meant to live.

This is a journey through the eternal questions that connect us all and the simple truths that set us free.

  • Bragg has a singular ability to make you laugh like you're with a dear friend, despite the looming sense of horror building from page one. Your immediate attachment to Bragg's naive young self keeps you soaring through her heart-wrenching story with the strange, attached feeling that you can somehow warn her, stop her, help her. I flew through the pages as if reaching the end will help me save Bragg from an experience I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy, let alone my new best friend.

  • Ms. Bragg has a way of writing that keeps you engaged to the last page. The book had me hooked from the first chapter, and her skillful sense of humor and style made some of the more intense material easier to navigate through. My experience ranged from suspense, to tears, to laughter. Read this book and be forever changed by the strength of the human will!

  • No Angels Here is a beautifully written homage to one’s will to survive. The true account of the unthinkable happening, Tawnya Bragg’s writing of her abduction years ago, taps into our inner warrior as readers. Written with humor and honesty, she recounts the dark travails of an experience most of us will never realize and finds a way to tell the story that is both mesmerizing and inspiring. An important story to be told, with the ability to look back from her adult writer's perspective, this is a boundless and beautiful read. We find ourselves rallying for the determination to survive. Nothing, as it turns out, is impossible. Even, resurrection.
